    Original MkI SMLE was designed so that the bolt could be disassembled without tools. The striker had a lug on the front of the collar and the groove in the bolt head allowed it to be used as a wrench to unscrew the striker. This system was soon abandoned but groove in the bh was retained to allow use of old stocks of strikers.
